Oh come on here. Give me a break David. Is that the best you can do? Sheesh. What an obsure example. I mean really, what percentage of users would have to worry about such a thing? Not many. Most machines only have one hard drive, and if they have a decent version of DOS, then they can have a huge drive as one partition. For those of us with more than one drive, so what if you have to type D: to move to the other drive! If it annoys you so much, write a batch file, it will take all of about 15 seconds. Is this really worth nit-picking over. I think if you are judging operating systems on that issue, well…nuff said. I admit, I was all hot and heavy to purchase a video toaster, but man, a DOS person begins to feel very unwelcome here. I appreciate all of the help most of you have given me. You are generous with your time and I thank you for that. I think you guys have THE machine for Video Production. I am envious of you with toasters. But lets face it, as most of us know, machines and operating systems excel at different tasks. Lets not forget the DOS and the PC can do some pretty good stuff. Marty
